Incredibly clean. We could smell it had been cleaned well. The carpet had been vacuumed and you could see the lines. Very well maintained. The home was bigger than even the pictures seemed to indicate. We would love to stay here again

The property was just as described, and the directions for access where clear and provided in advance. The property itself is beautiful, homey and comfortable. It is cozy enough to feel at home in while still being big enough to accommodate our family. Accessing the lake was easy and safe. It was a peaceful and safe space for a getaway.

The hosts were excellent! They responded quickly to inquiries, provided suggestions for a celebratory dinner, and let us know that the lake was closed for swimming and offered us options regarding our stay. The home is a short drive to Fredericksburg so there is plenty to keep you busy on rainy days or if you don’t want or can’t make use of the lake. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If I could give this host and experience 6 stars I would. This is our second year renting this house and each time has been great. The house is great, location is great, there is easy access to everything (lake, pool, beach, grocery stores). Host was very communicative / responsive when I had questions and allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our stay. We hope to come back for a 3rd trip next summer!

Beautiful property right on the lake! You can sit out on the deck right off the house and enjoy shade/sun and there is a second deck right by the lake to sit. There is a beautiful picture window with a gorgeous view to the lake! The owners thought of a lot of nice little touches like room darkening shades if you want sleep in a little bit! Thank you, Al and Marcia for a great stay. The owner was also very responsive and check-in and check out was easy!

Clean place with beautiful views

The property was very clean and a perfect place to spend a few days with friends and our dogs. Despite the heat wave, we were able to stay cool between the kitchen views and the tree covered deck. We also enjoyed exploring the lake.

Such a lovely stay! So many things thought of, like flashlights handy by the door for nighttime dog walks. All the cozy blankets for staying warm while lounging on the sofa, the Christmas lights around the windows for a festive feel. Loved the game table, which we brought upstairs for a puzzle.

Wonderful stay!

The home was wonderful for a quiet getaway my husband and I really needed. The view was beautiful. We enjoyed the air hockey and ping pong table. The pool and beach were delightful especially on the hot days. The host thought of everything you would need during the stay. We will be back.

Small Family get together

It was nice to return to Locust Grove after being gone for 7+ years and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Life on the Lake. Plenty of room for entertaining in multiple spaces. The ping pong/air hockey table was a big hit.
